PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN
Dyneisha Gross is currently a senior pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design. At her school, she serves as Student Council President and is the secretary of her AIGA chapter.

Dyneisha’s senior thesis focuses on the reform of gender and race equity on college and university campuses.
